Kumar Utkarsh

I build complete robots — CAD, electronics, firmware, ROS 2, simulation, perception and autonomy — and run them on real hardware. Founder of MechaMind Labs; previously Research Assistant in embedded and industrial IoT at IIT Bombay (NCAIR). Working towards manipulation, autonomy and robot learning.
